He photographs reeds etched onto a frozen fen
trees floating on mist.
He searches for shadows and reflections
expanses of missing
what's unremembered.
In 1895 the photographer P.H. Emerson produced a last body of work, a collection of East Anglian marsh landscapes. Photographs of fugitive qualities of mist and light in a place that blurs distinctions between land and water, the images often seem themselves to be on the point of dissolving.
Drawing on Emerson's writings on optics and photographic techniques, as well as his accounts of time spent in East Anglia, This Craft reimagines the photographs' elusive, ambiguous spaces. What do we see in these landscapes? What is unseen, haunting the moment of stilled time captured by the camera?
Judith Willson is the author of two poetry collections, both published by Carcanet Press: Crossing the Mirror Line (2017) and Fleet (2021). She lives in Yorkshire.
